Lacura BB Cream in Medium
I'd say if you buy one thing this week/month, this should be it. That said, we all know that Aldi has stock in for the blink of an eye and then it's gone. Go to Aldi now and buy this. I've had it for a week and I am converted.
The picture of me above is having applied the BB Cream and concealer under my eyes, with a little bronzer just below my cheek bones. I have no foundation over the top or...

Seeing as I am now back on a health kick I thought it was a perfect time to tell you about some of my favourite not so bad treats! When I start a new fitness regime or diet plan I end up really going for it and then I either get to where I want to be or my social...

Maybelline Baby Lips Lip Balm - £2.99 (here)
I love a tinted lip balm. They hold so much promise.
Most of the time they are pretty rubbish in either pigment or tone and look rubbish against my skin tone. I've had a fair few frosted ones in the past which has not been a good look for me!
That said, they are getting better. Last year I had a bit of a Revlon Lip Butter obsession (still loving these) and this year...

Whether you are saving for a holiday, at uni, saving for a house, saving for a wedding, or just generally trying to keep spends down, there is always a reason to pick up a bargain when it comes to health and beauty products.
Top on my list for finding products like this are supermarkets. Always. I...
Some of you may have seen on Instagram (here) that I purchased a little Barcelona Guide following booking a little trip there!
I am super excited. I've never been before and know nothing about the place so I am presently researching and noting down all the things I want to do and see.
Needless to say, I've found lots of tapas bars to head to - I will probably come back like a whale!
I am praying it will be sunny so I might...

Miss Sporty Pump Up Mascara - £3.99 (here)
So without going over old ground most mascaras are a nightmare for my eyelashes. In short, they point downwards and I have to spend 5 minutes curling them every day to get my eyes to look awake! What I don't need therefore is a super wet mascara that will immediately cause the curl to drop, which most do.
Annoying.
I had a real combination going on for years. Miss Sport Fab Lash and...

Herbal Essences Bee Strong Shampoo and Conditioner £2.29
Every now and then I feel the need for change when it comes to health and beauty in my life! It's a sudden urge that leaves me immediately seeking out an alternative.
Last week it was my hair care. I've been using the same products for a while and I don't feel that I am getting the same results. I am also bored with my mid-length hair and desperate for it to grow.
So...

Purchase here
Hey lovelies!
It's that time of year when it becomes necessary to start buying a load of summer/holiday clothes because, well if you are anything like me, you have nothing to wear.
Literally had to empty out all my drawers this weekend for inspiration when the sun came out! What on earth to wear in the heat that a. is nice and cool and b. doesn't show too much leg. (I hate my legs).
So...

Purchase at Boots here£11.69
So disaster struck when I went to purchase my favourite fake tan last week. They had sold out in Boots, I knew of no where else that stocks it and I had pretty much already over-run on my lunch break. Oh and I needed to fake tan that night before Southport Weekender (which was amazing by the way. Link to website here for those of you that like soul, RnB, or house music).
For the most part, none...

No Flash - indoors
Sorry for the super long heading - I couldn't think of anything imaginative. My brain is fried from all the nail art I have been pinning on Pinterest!
Decided to put some of it into practice - very basic I know, but I found some nail art tools I purchased from ebay around 5 years ago and finally opened the package! I used the dotting tool only and found there was even a knack to that!
Looking forward to perfecting...

I love looking at nail colours/art/styles and always mean to share whatever gel polish I am wearing, but somehow always forget to picture my nails other than on my phone. Therefore the quality is usually a bit poor and unblog-worthy.
I will make more of an effort I promise.
However, here is one that I did manage to photograph, although it must have been a while ago! I always go back to this shade though - it's so pretty and I love...
Yankee Candle - Large Jar £19.99link here
Ahhh Yankee Candle. I do not know of anyone who does not appreciate this brand of candle. That likes candles that is.
My obsession with this brand started not long after we had moved into our city centre flat and wanted to relax in our home and get rid of any open plan cooking smells.
Luckily for us also, we live relatively close to the Lowry Outlet Mall which means they can be purchased...

Attended an absolutely amazing wedding recently. Good food, company and beautiful venue (West Tower in Aughton if you're interested).
I made the error of bringing an un-charged camera! Was gutted but it's always such a busy lead up to weekend events isn't it!
So all the photos I got were using my trusty iPhone. I was aiming for a natural(ish) look. And one that I did not have to refresh too much.

I literally live in my disco pants. I don't even know if people think that they are still ok to wear or whether that fashion has died a death. I also don't care because I love mine. They are just so versatile and make me feel like I am from another era! An era when everyone did crazy disco dancing to Donna Summers music.
Anyway, I digress.
So it was a friend's 30th this weekend and they are always the kind of events that you don't...

I was guilt tripped by the BBC's Orangutan Diaries recently. I couldn't cope with seeing baby Orangutans losing their habitat because of unsustainable palm oil plantations, then Michaela Strachan proceeding to lecture about how we buy far too many products containing palm oil produced from these plantations. I was already aware of the problem before watching Orangutan Diaries but my busy life saw me consuming whatever was convenient. This time,...

In keeping with the healthier me theme, I was struggling slightly today when trying to locate a snack that wouldn't take me off plan. Unfortunately, despite prepping my lunches for the week, my portions are somehow ridiculously small and the avocado I had brought to fatten it up wasn't ripe and got binned. I was hungry before I had even finished!
With that I nipped over to Tesco and located this bad boy, in a 4 pack which was only £2.50...
I love In Love With Fashion for clothes. They have so many choices and show real people in the outfits so you get a real sense of what something will look like. I love this dress very much. When I first bought it, it was for a night out. Now I wear it more casual as above. Either way, it's super versatile and works a treat. Can't wait to wear it with gold sandals in summer!

If you are anything like me you might just burn the candle at both ends and find yourself in need of some under eye concealer to cover the obvious signs! Unfortunately for me though, even when I have early nights, drink lots of water and eat well I still suffer from really bad darker pigmentation around my eyes. It's more a reddy brown than anything. And then purple practically right in the corner near the nose. Fit.

I've been making the conscious effort to eat clean for a couple of weeks now. I have started a 3 month plan which involves weight lifting, some cardio and clean eating. Mainly because as always, Christmas took its toll and my waist line wasn't looking its best. If I am totally honest too, I'd been celebrating pretty much since November too with the engagement, client christmas dos and family and friend catch ups. I basically...

As some of you will know, I got engaged towards the end of last year and since then I have basically been pinning non-stop on Pinterest (follow me here). I have a secret wedding board - I don't actually know why it's secret, well I think it's because I want to leave some surprises for my guests etc, but I also have other boards related to everything I love in life including wedding things!
Anyway, last Saturday was a bit like real life pinterest,...
